Gutted Arcades of the Past

Gutted Arcades of the Past is an on-going project to create an encyclopaedia of Malcolm Lowry’s early life and work from 1909 to 1934. The cut off date of 1934 was chosen as a symbolic one reflecting his rejection of Europe for the New World beginning with his voyage to New York in that year aboard the R.M.S.Aquitania.
